various

This is a picture of my desk! And a reflection of the dog and the big mess on my desk and its all sort of out of focus because I have yet to sit down and read the manual on my camera and memorize what all the settings mean.

I have split up this site a bit. One part for 'serious' photos and one for writing AND photos. Because really, I can't live without the picture taking. But sometimes it is not the greatest photo in the world, but I still want to use a picture to illustrate various things. I am trying not to worry so much and just take pictures. Today I took the dog for her usual morning walk but I took my camera with me. I tried to look at all the things I see every single day to see if I could see things differently. I also walked down a few streets I have never been down before. Its funny how we always take the same paths and sreets, even when we have nowhere particular to go.

Looking like its going to be a very sunny day on the common.

I walked on this little alley way that runs along the far side of the railroad tracks. I found it to be a mini industrial estate, with all these businesses hidden from view. There was a florist, a beer and wine distributor as well as a business caterer and a drain cleaning service.

Some big ass truck with strange neatly wrapped hoses.

Is this where ladles go to die?

Then, almost back to the house, I decided to take a picture of this damn huge cricket grounds that I pass every single day. The sign always strikes me as strange. At least being grammarians they know where to put the apostrophe. I wonder what an old grammarian is exactly. The second picture just attests to the attitude that place puts out. Although its always very busy, I just hate the tone of those evil signs.

I posted another photo on my "main" site of some builders getting lunch at this tiny cafe in the station. Can't decide whether I like it or not. Feel free to comment on it!
